I love the song "Lampo" by Gianmaria Testa but Lampo means lightning and I don't have any photos of it. But the other day I found this lightning road and hope it fits to the song. Here is a bit in Italian and a bit in English via translation software.
"però la vita é subito
tu mi dici così
si ma la vita é subito
il tempo, soltanto il tempo
di una fotografia
il lampo che abbaglia negli occhi
e non ci vedi più "
"However, life is just this moment
so you say to me
but it is just here and now-
time, only time;
a photo
the lightning flash that dazzles the eyes
and we do not see "
Listen to the song please.
This is a stack of 16 individual frames taken from the central Texas area within 5 minutes of each other, during the evening of May 16, 2025. The storm was moving from West to East. Highly electrified storms moved through the area, and I wanted to show the amount of lightning these storms produced.

Monday nights storm was supposed to be more fierce than it was. I needed a dry place to sit to take my lightning photos and my sister offered her from porch which faces to the west.
Lightning, pier, cool to warm tones, a nice mix of light across the scene. 2014 was the year that I was able to get in the right spot at the right time for some nice lightning captures. What will 2015 bring ...
Happy Bench Monday
Lightnings are so cool! It reminds us, that whatever we do, it is nothing compared to force of nature. To capture one in the frame, that's always a lot of fun. I like the purple light that comes with it.
I don't live in an area that gets a lot of thunderstorms, and I've never really had a chance to try and photograph a lightning bolt.
Coming down the mountains in eastern Oregon on a birding trip, I hear some thunder in the distance, stop at the nearest pull-off and 1000-or-so shots later...
Got me a picture of lightning!

Oh, lightning! What a Nature’s high voltage spectacle!
The past few days, weather conditions were particularly ripe for thunderstorms and I decided to make my first attempt at lightning photography. Moreover, to see storms makes me feel good. I love to hear the thunder, watch the lightning; and, when it starts to rain, I listen to my playlist for stormy days.
Note: I should buy a camera rain cover, instead of using a plastic bag.
Watching from the beach as a severe storm passed to the north of us throwing out huge bolts of lightning. This was one of many beautiful bolts I captured.
Shot duing a storm in Panama City Beach, FL. Caught some amazing strikes, I continue to be amazed at the beauty of nature, and the One who created it! Thanks for dropping by, and may God Bless you and your family!
Lucky to be at the right place at the right time and with the right hunch. Always wanted to do something like this!
Just a little bit of sunlight left. The lightning strikes continued well into the night.

I found this lightning bug on our box elder shrub. I captured several images of it and as I was about to end my photo session, he opened his wings to fly away. This is the last shot of my encounter with this interesting little creature!
Slight cheat in this one. I just missed the lightning bolt by a moment and had to use AI to try and replicate the actual lightning.

Thanks in Explore for choosing this image. Always humbling!!
i went a little crazy with the contrast in the clouds, but i liked it so much i made a print. i also hope you like it as well.
The sky looks really dark over that way, may be a chance for some lightning pictures!!! So off we go in the Prius, we is myself and camera gear. Drive up a hill in Fort Huachuca AZ and set up the camera. OK Standing out in the open with the tripod, no one around for miles except this wet microburst barreling down on me.
It is a peaceful uneasy feeling.........
Infrared loves clouds. : ) And lightning.
Oklahoma Panhandle. May 21, 2017
In May, 2017 I went storm chasing in Tornado Alley. Tornado Alley, which stretches from Texas through to Nebraska, is the area of the U.S. which gets the most severe weather, and the most tornadoes, every spring. Over 8 days, I chased storms through Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico. What an incredible adventure it was!
I tried my hand at time lapse on this trip. If you'd like to see the time lapse film I made, it's on YouTube in 4K and on Flickr, too.
